My son told his wonderful little sister today that i am going to die of a heart attack. And she totally beleives him. LOL that is so sad. but Anyone else have teenagers, is it normal for them to think your the beast from hell? for no reason at all. (well he has been grounded for the last 2 weeks).
I am use to keiko thinking i am the queen B__Ch but not roman. I have always been a good thing in his life and i just don't know what to think. Sorry i am rambling!

I've been in there shoes,but not yours.Give me 10 more years.But yep I was the same way with my mom,trust me they get over it and run back to you when they are adults.

**heaven** · 03-03-2003, 09:25 PM

Lord Amanda I so hope so!! thanks for the encouragement. i have held on to the statement from their therapist that he and myriah would never act like keiko. I am going to ship him back to her. LOL

Oh Heaven I can relate!!!! We're having a time with Ashley (13). She wants to do what she wants and not what we tell her to. THEN expects us to buy or give her what she wants. We think she should 'work' for what she wants and she thinks she should just get it because she's Ashley I guess LOL!!
She was really peed off at me today but oh well...I'm the mother and eventually she'll get over it.

I can remember my mom making me so mad when I was teenager and I wanted to move out,run away etc..but once I cooled down,everything was fine. I'm sure Roman will be the same.
Teenagers just think they know everything.....

Oh Heaven, youth is wasted on the young ! They do think they know everything, I did ! I thought my Mother was clueless, funny how she got so smart when I grew to adulthood !!!!! LOL
It's a growing up thing.......

Oh Heaven, How well I know the feeling!! Daniel is just so UGH! lately, I told him since he was already grown and knew it all he should move out, get a job and have kids before he forgets it all!LMAO he just looked at me. I think it has something to do with being a Teenager! Too many peer presures and having to fit in. Hormones all outta whack, on the verge of being a "real" Teenager where they can drive, go out with buddies etc... I just hope they STOP and think things through before they really bite the big one!!
It'll get better...won't it????? Please say it will. I thought I was going to pull my hair out today with all the drumming, and back talk.

**heaven** · 03-03-2003, 11:07 PM

OH Ellise I hope so, I can almost deal with keiko acting this way but Roman, my favorite son, it is heart breaking. thanks for letting me know that i am not alone.

**voodidit** · 03-03-2003, 11:48 PM

It's a teenage thing, my dd drove me nuts, we stayed at each others throats sometimes for days when she was at that age. And i was the same way when I was her age, I realized it after I sat down and got to thinking back, sometimes you block out all the bad thoughts you had about your parents when you where yonger, but they are there somewhere...lol.

**captclearance** · 03-03-2003, 11:57 PM

9 more years and their all grown......... OOOOOOOOMMMMMMM.....

**heaven** · 03-04-2003, 01:41 AM

**heavensent_7** · 03-04-2003, 05:17 AM

Heaven

I have to admit I am

too - sorry!

I remember listening to my eldest DS and DD seriously plotting my death!!!!!!!!!!

I was devastated at the time (lol) but years later I'm still here and they both still speak to me LOL.

I actually left home when I was just 17 because I couldn't stand my Dad - He turned out to be my VERY best friend and teacher and IDOL!!! (that was years later though)

Hang in there!

Sorry I can't help this - 'This too shall pass!' - Honest it will

I used to say over and over to myself...Being a parent is not a popularity contest! God gives us parents because, we don't have the wisdom to raise ourselves. You just have to be the parent and sometimes the kids don't like that. It's OK. Hugs coming your way.
